Upper Boat Inn in Rhondda Cynon Taf

After coming so many years over as a Belgium lorry driver I will miss this place... thanks to Jordan... zwinnemeule.. and the great staff... it was Always a home away from home... keep on going the great work

Logan was rather exquisite for my experience at the stone house today, totally give him a raise and more hours!

Food was nice and the staff were very friendly

food was amazing, and the service (server was logan) was amazing aswell !!

Sunday carvery was ok nothing special, service was very slow

Great service from everyone, lovely food and very welcoming and very goos prices on food and drinks

Excellent services and lovely food. Manager always so friendly . The chefs very friendly . Symone was very polite and freindly

Average carvery but a convenient location.

The carvery was amazing, the desserts were delicious, and Symone & Suzanne were fantastic. A truly wonderful dining experience!

Very last minute booking on Mothers Day and they were happy to squeeze us in.

Amazing service, waitress lady symone extremely lovely and helpful. Very attentive

Excellent service from the friendly staff, food always lovely

Seated quickly, waitress symone was lovely and friendly and made us feel welcome

symone very helpful and smiley. thankyou symone

Lady serving was very polite and friendly, couldn't do enough for us.

Great food here; carvery and menu options were fantastic and my only complaint was that the beef was so tender it wouldn't stay on my fork! Wonderful service with a smile from Symone, who created a really friendly and warm atmosphere. Would definitely recommend and will be back again soon!

10/10 service, friendly staff and great food

My favourite place for a carvery. Kitchen staff are so friendly and helpful

The carvery was delicious, but what truly stood out was the exceptional service from Symone & Suzanne from the warm welcome to the attentive attention, every need was met with a smile. Highly recommend for a truly enjoyable dining experience. The Upper Boat Inn is a great place to celebrate a special occasion. We had a wonderful experience there for my nan and grandad's 50th wedding anniversary. With 18 people in our party, we found the service to be impeccable.

First time coming here, the atmosphere is amazing, the staff are out of this world and the food was awesome. We would recommend this pub over and over again.

Very attentive, always smiling Symone, she is fast and very helpful, especially with children

Food was lovely. Our server Symone was great! Would come here again😁

It's a lovely place to visit and the food is great

We all thought that the food was below standard, one person's chips were burned,and another were almost raw. Please explain how that could happen. That's apart from other things.

Had a lovely meal with my parents today...and symone our server was very helpful

The waitress Symone went the extra Mike to help out. The beef was vet fatty and she dealt with my complaint VERY efficiently. We will be back. Thank yiu Symone

Fantastic service, our server Simone was lovely

Lovely pub. Lovely food. Family orientated. Wouldn't advise on a rugby day. Apart from that, all round good service! Bar staff amazing and good banter. Thanks guys :)

Had a great breakfast, Symone was lovely when she served us

Atmosphere was very warm and welcoming. The staff very friendly, Symone and the team are very attentative to customers needs. Only feedback to improve, is the food isn't replenished quick enough. Other than that, a great experience.

Amazing service from our waitress symone

Food was amazing and our waitress symone was super friendly thank you. My mum just said we have to make this our regular place

Best carvery I’ve had in a while , great place , loads of parking and the waitress symone was amazing !!! Really friendly and helpful 👌

Regular visitors. Good quality food and location Good service by Symone

I can't say enough about the exceptional service we received! We arrived a mere five minutes before closing, just as they were beginning to clean up the carvery area. Instead of turning us away, they gave us a wonderfully warm welcome and insisted we help ourselves. This kind of genuine hospitality is rare! And, as always, the food was absolutely outstanding. I've been coming here for over 20 years, and the quality has never wavered. It's a true testament to their dedication and consistency. Highly recommended!

absolutely shocking service and absolutely disgusting food!! I will not come here again, the Peas were very dry, the potatoes were tasteless and lumpy with lots of black bits, the stuffing was soggy, I wasn't told my plate was hot or utensils so I burnt my hand and then was told they weren't hot! there was cleaning products left right by our table in reach of children and by an open window the bar staff was rude and absolutely no one paid attention when I tried to address them about the issues

I need to contact the manager.Do you have an email address?

Come here once a week, stunning mate.

Served by a lovely lady who was very polite and friendly 😊 Think her name is Suzanne

Very good experience and look after us

Good Carvery, nice and hot. Friendly staff.

The carvery at the Upper Boat Inn is by far the best of all the carveries in South Wales that I have visited...and I have visited many! The quality of both the meat and vegetables is second to none. A very special commendation goes to Mostyn for his truly outstanding service and he always goes the extra mile to make each guest feel special. He is a credit to the establishment.

Amazing Sunday carvery and great service from Symone and the rest of the team. Will definitely be back again

It's a lovely pub, well run, clean. They serve a wide variety of drinks both on pump as well as bottle. Had the carvery every time I have gone and I find it good value for money. Well cooked, plenty of variety of meats and veg.

There for a wake. Solid reasonably priced meal. Pub is part of a national chain of eateries/pubs with all you can eat veg served with selection of roast meat.

This place is a complete joke went there for food 2 weeks ago (which wasn't even nice) today received a £100 fine for parking in there carpark. Please stay well clear the place is a mess.

Carvery Meat was inferior & Warm,Stuffing was Inedible & Peas were Dry & Shrivelled.

We had the carvery. The food was just OK. The peas and carrots were pretty dry. The Yorkshire puds were pretty hard and the roasties were hard too. Don't think I will give there again. The nearby Stonehouse in Tonypandy is far better!

We ate at the upper Boat Inn today Thursday 29th Feb, what a lovely surprise that the meal was well cooked and hot. Very accommodating staff took half my meal home with me so much there. For any one that likes home cooked pizza’s that’s the place to go; fresh dough every day and a great choice. Also a take away option. Altogether great place to eat.

Went in for a carvery today ( Tuesday ) Got to the deck! Two yorkies left rock solid! No cauliflower cheese, minimal sweedie mash? Beef and gammon ends were dry and discoloured! Had to have turkey, Not to end up with them! Camo peas!! Not good at all. Had to wait for a carver ( Took a phone call while waiting ) while a girl was leaning on Pizza counter - No .. They won’t be a sec? When the carver actually turned up he didn’t replenish anything just had tickets away we go! Still only two solid yorkies! No motivation at all!. I used to call in a lot, this is the second time it’s been the same. Didn’t eat much we left, on the way out the carvery deck was all replenished?? Did you want us to eat the dregs? 4 team having a chat upon leaving all kitchen team?? Adleast the next guys may eat tidy grub. Really disappointed! Massive lack of effort! Sad but won’t be back

Very friendly atmosphere and service love coming here

Amazing food, service was great happy to go again.

We booked for 8 people the table they gave us was too small to fit 8, the food looked dried up, only 1 piece of scraggy beef there, no other meat, it all looked awful so we all walked out and went to Toby Carvery

Lovely food and really good staff especially Diane :)

Very good service and lovely food will be returning

amazing service , incredible staff

Great service, staff are so helpful and accommodating for a fussy vegetarian.

Staff are always polite and pleasant 😊

A lovely roast dinner as always

Cons: - Mains were tasteless - Server wasn't able to give us a table, we then booked online for 5mins Pros: - Other staff were friendly especially the older lady with the Bob and glasses, and the younger lady who helped us at the bar - starters were nice

Came here 6pm on a Saturday to be told we could not eat in the restaurant even though it was practically empty and we’re made to sit in the bar to eat. We just got up and left and headed down to the Whitchurch stone house we’re we were happily invited in to the restaurant. Wouldn’t recommend this place at all.

A nice place to eat and drink carvery was delicious and good value

Always a good carvery here and a quick but good food option.

Great service from Symone beautiful smile . Food was good too 👍

Symone was very polite and helpful. Food is really good and staff are very friendly highly recommend

We had a warm welcome on arrival, being greeted with a smile. Ordering at the bar and being served at the carvery station were both easy and pleasant. Our server, Symone was extremely polite and courteous. We will be back again 😊

Symone was amazing with her service. Food was amazing and great quality and great price. Will deffo be returning

Thank you Symone for making us feel so at ease and for being so lovely

Great quality food and service.

Great food and a good selection of drinks - including tea and coffee. A great place to meet up with friends or family for some food and a catch up.

Food was bad not able to eat roast potatoes burnt brown/ black dish 1/2 full of oil asked for fresh ones but they came out the same if not worst complain to carver his reply my name not on them . Yorkshire pudding not available Green beans dried out mash had dried crusty on top gravy warm manager didn't think there was anything wrong with roast potatoes manger was full of it Said nothing wrong bit crisp on outside but nice and fluffy on inside take a look at photos and make your own mind up Recommend you find some where else to eat and spend your hard earned money somewhere else who will go above and beyond daine behind the bar is a diamond allways willing to help this review is for upper management team down take a look and learn from daine Toilet roll on holder was wet and looks like it been dried out and put back on open roll holder

After trying other branded carvery’s, we came here with our family and the staff and team were outstanding. The food was great as you can see from the photos and the staff couldn’t be more helpful. The food quality was great, the food counter was clean, I couldn’t recommend it enough. If you want a carvery this is the place to go.

Service great, food was decent but for the price can't complain!

Staff are really friendly and helpful..food was absolutely gorgeous..had the carvery..lots of choice,nice and hot..best I have had in ages

The service we received today was exceptional. The food was lovely. A special thank you goes to Logan who looked after us today what a lovely and polite young man. We will certainly be returning.

Perfect location, great carvery and truly good prices meat was lovely and the veg and piping hot, can get busy on weekends so probably book in advance. Would highly recommend if you’re close or looking for a nice roast style carvery. Other meal options are available also at a great price

Visited yesterday with my family. Had a beautiful carvery, all lovely and hot and the rosties were the best iv tried. There was a kind helpful young chap called logan who put what I couldn't eat into a container for me to take home, so helpfull and kind- a asset to the upperboat.

The manager looked after me and my colleagues amazingly well, couldn't have been any more helpful. We'll definitely come back.

Logan Woodford was our server today. His service was immaculate, will come again.

Sunday roast was lovely, but had a bit of a line for the bar and only a couple of staff.

Excellent value for money. Staff friend helpful. Will definitely be back.

We come here often for a Sunday Dinner. It's our go to place with the family

Excellent Service as always Just had our Christmas Lunch and it was absolutely amazing and we are going to book for next year. Thanks to all the staff that give their day up it is much appreciated

Beautiful food Friendly, courteous and helpful staff Lovely atmosphere Clean toilets I would definitely go again!
